500 new jobs for Ireland as Amazon expands in Europe

Amazon’s European expansion gathered steam with the announcement yesterday that it was to add a further 500 employees to its Irish workforce.

The staff will be hired in the coming two years, with the online retail giant looking software engineers, data centre technicians, and customer support staff, among others.

Having started as a data centre and networking hub, the company’s operations have expanded to include a much wider range of staff which support its retail operations and web services divisions, among others.
